Automated Yoco Peak Hour Sales Heatmap
Every night, WebRun opens Yoco, breaks today's takings down by hour, adds the row to a running heatmap in Google Sheets covering every hour of every day, and once a week posts a Telegram digest of which hours and days are actually your busiest, so staffing follows real demand.
How do I find my actual busiest hours from Yoco sales data?
WebRun builds a running heatmap of your busiest hours from Yoco takings. Every night it adds the day's hourly totals to a Google Sheets grid covering every hour and day of the week, and once a week it posts a Telegram digest of which times are genuinely busiest, so staffing and stock decisions follow real demand instead of a guess.
- Busiest hours are based on your own data, not a guess
- The pattern gets more reliable every week it runs
- A shifting busy hour shows up before it changes your staffing
Built for cafes and restaurants · retail stores · salons · multi shift operations

Questions, answered
How long until the heatmap is useful?
It updates every night, so you will see a rough pattern within a couple of weeks and a reliable one after a full month of trading, since more nights make the averages more accurate.
Does it recommend staffing levels?
No, it shows which hours and days are genuinely busiest based on your own Yoco data. Deciding how many staff to schedule against that pattern is still your call.
Can it show a single day's pattern instead of the whole week?
Yes. The underlying heatmap in Google Sheets breaks every day down by hour, the Telegram digest just summarizes the week, so you can open the sheet for a single day's detail.
